You can visualize being in a meditation class, a yoga class,  or you are back in the 60's on LSD.

This song is totally Band-in-a-Box.  All I did was to select the sounds.

a child heard her teacher yell     
there’s a bad man  get on the floor
she looked up and saw two policemen 
running through the door
everybody was crying
then somebody said it’s ok
all you have to do is 
pretend it’s just a play

she asked her Daddy 
why can’t we all wish upon a star?

but he said honey 
that’s just the way things are 


the child watched a lot of 
starving children on tv
there were bombed out buildings 
as far as she could see
she wondered where 
are the mommies and the daddies
who’s going to care 
for all the little babies?

she asked her mommy 
why can’t we all wish upon a star?
but she said honey 
that’s just the way things are 

the child thought why are there 
so many fires and hurricanes
the people and little animals 
are in so much pain
why are pretty birds 
and little fishes dying?
why did the creek 
on granny’s farm quit running?

she asked her mommy 
why can’t we all  wish upon a star?
but she said honey 
that’s just the way things are 

the child wondered why 
so many people hate each other
she thought the good book 
said love one another
a friend said her neighbor 
was gonna go to hell
they went to a different church 
was all she could tell 
 
she asked her daddy 
why can’t we all wish upon a star?
but he said honey 
that’s just the way things are 

she asked her mommy 
why can’t we all wish upon a star?
she said oh, honey	 
that’s just the way things are

The Way Things Are

Little Rocker

Verse
For just a little while I want to sit and watch the sunrise.
For just a little while I watch reflections in your eyes.

I've been waiting for tomorrow. 
I've been waiting for a change. 
I think it's time for second chances.
I think its time to take the stage 

Bridge


Chorus

I've been waiting for tomorrow. 
I've been waiting for a change. 
I think it's time for second chances.
I think its time to leave the stage 

Verse
Too many words unsaid I need to find the time to tell you.
I never realized you are healing for my soul.

Chorus

I've been waiting for tomorrow. 
I've been waiting for a change. 
I think it's time for second chances.
I think its time to leave the stage x2

I've Been Waiting
